Celebrating one of the most legendary jam sessions in music history, One Night in Memphis: #1 Tribute to Presley, Perkins, Lewis & Cash recreates the unforgettable December 4, 1956, gathering at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee, when Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash came together for an impromptu musical session that would become known as the “Million Dollar Quartet.”

One Night in Memphis: #1 Tribute to Presley, Perkins, Lewis & Cash features more than 90 minutes of rockabilly, country, gospel and 1950s rock and roll, performed live by nationally recognized talent and backed by an authentic, energetic rockabilly band.
 
The show takes audiences back to the day when four legendary artists found themselves together at Sam Phillips' Sun Records studio. Carl Perkins was recording “Matchbox” with his brothers Clayton and Jay when a young Jerry Lee Lewis joined the session as a piano player. Elvis Presley, already a major star, stopped by the studio, and Johnny Cash soon arrived as well.
 
A spontaneous jam session followed, with studio engineer Jack Clement continuing to record as the artists sang and played together. The historic gathering was later photographed and reported on by the Memphis Press Scimitar under the headline “Million Dollar Quartet.” The recordings that survived offer a remarkable glimpse of four icons of American music in their prime.
 
One Night in Memphis: #1 Tribute to Presley, Perkins, Lewis & Cash brings that legendary night back to life through the music that defined an era. Audiences will hear classic hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Hound Dog” and many more.
 
With its combination of rockabilly, country, gospel and early rock and roll, One Night in Memphis: #1 Tribute to Presley, Perkins, Lewis & Cash celebrates the music and musicians who helped shape the sound of American popular music.
 
Don't miss this high-energy trip back to the birthplace of rock and roll when One Night in Memphis: #1 Tribute to Presley, Perkins, Lewis & Cash comes to the Hattiesburg Saenger Theater on Saturday, January 9, 2027, at 7 p.m.
